The next Board of Pharmacy election will begin on November 1 and will be for two positions: the northern district position, presently held by Keith Vance, and the western district position, presently held by Chris Sain. Dr. Vance is currently serving his second consecutive five-year term and is thus term limited. Dr. Sain is currently serving his first term and is eligible to run in this upcoming election.
The northern district comprises Alamance, Caswell, Forsyth, Guilford, Orange, Person, Rockingham, Stokes, Surry and Yadkin Counties.
The western district comprises Alexander, Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Buncombe, Burke, Caldwell, Catawba, Cherokee, Clay, Cleveland, Gaston, Graham, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Lincoln, Macon, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Swain, Transylvania, Watauga, Wilkes and Yancey Counties.
October 1 is the deadline for a candidate to submit their notice of intent to run and a supporting petition signed by at least ten (10) pharmacists who reside in that district. Contact Kristin Moore for petition logistics or, to learn more about serving on the Board of Pharmacy, contact Executive Director, Jay Campbell.
